Why Comedogenicity Ratings Are Kinda BS | Lab Muffin Beauty Science

Comedogenicity ratings are everywhere… but the scientific papers they're based on say that the way we're using them is exactly what we're NOT meant to do. (Before you say it: #NotAllSkincareAddicts)

What ingredients and products do you personally find problematic for your skin? For my skin it's SLS (tends to dehydrate my already dehydration-prone skin), and most sunscreens clog my pores :(

@gingerbadjie9670 5 жыл бұрын

SLS/SLES 100% aggravates eczema/dermatitis on my skin and its taken me years to work out shea butter causes clogged pores on my cheeks . So now i avoid anything with both ingredients and hey presto clear smooth skin! SPF is ok as long as I really cleanse my skin afterwards, like triple cleanse including an oil massage. Annoying init ;) Love your channel mIssy Muffin xoxo

Every single CeraVe product I've tried has stung my skin, some worse than others (the infamous hydrating cleanser burned and tingled immediately upon contact). So one of the most popular, affordable, easily accessible brands for skin repair and maintenance is one I have to avoid :( Also, most "all natural" skincare I've tried seems to clog my pores terribly, even the vegan version of CeraVe lotion, called Ceramedx. The only specific ingredient I've narrowed down as being problematic is coconut oil, which clogs my pores with regular use. The major irritants such as essential oils and fragrance are ingredients I already avoid due to my highly sensitive, rosaceatic skin, and I'm not willing to experiment with my face to find out my individual sensitivities lol.

Love your videos! Could you make one on ingredients that are 'not supposed to go together', for example niacinamide and vitamin C? I've heard such conflicting things about whether they cancel each other out or not and I'd love to hear what you have to say! Also The Ordinary's EUK isn't supposed to be mixed with niacinamide but no where says whether that's because they supposedly cancel each other out or if it's because it'll create a reaction!

@noora7773 5 жыл бұрын

I heard it has been later debunked that L-ascorbic acid and niacinamide shouldn’t be used together. So that too is old (and fake) news. I would avoid putting too many chemical exfoliating ingredients at the same time just to avoid irritation. (Or do such a foolish thing as dermaplane and add acids after it!...it burned😵) But there’s quite a much of contradicting information about which actives should and shouldn’t be used together. So my best bet is to try and see if irritation occurs... But it could be useful to get a video about this on this channel too. I have watched such videos from other channels, and the problem is that they always tell you advise that you don’t want to hear, like “don’t combine acne treatments!”...yeah right, I’ll just watch and wait a week for this enormous volcano to disappear, because you shouldn’t even put certain actives on active inflamed acne!?! Doing nothing is impossible and trying everything is what people usually gear towards.

@teabish2705 5 жыл бұрын

The „problem“ could be that niacinamid tends to be niacin in a acidic environment. Niacin is highly irritating on skin, maybe that’s the reason, why people talk like this about this combination 🤷🏻‍♂️

So many people seem to say “well some studies show reactions so never ever use it” or something similar.

I always make this point. Ingredients in a product are different than using data from isolated ingredients. As an example, retention hyper-keratosis is the main issue. We just made at home peel that estheticians sell their client. It is coconut meat based, but because it has both acid and enzymes it hydrates while it clears. We also added FOS which is good food for the skins microbiome, this increases cell turnover as well.

Doesn’t sound scientifically precise terminology. Yeah, I’ll avoid putting toxins like syanide to my face.

@noora7773 5 жыл бұрын

Dr Dray, a youtube dermatologist, has said that dimethicone is a good ingredient to have in a (face) moisturizer. She has also explained that mineral oil and parabens are ok. Just watch her channel if you want to hear scientifically proven skincare advise. She is quite hardcore in keeping it 100% scientific and not approving use of irritating ingredients such as fragrance. I am such a hard head that I keep on playing Russian roulette with my skincare and risk on getting a fragrance allergy later on... but I like that she won’t ever recommend products that have fragrance, even naturally derived, because essential oils are just as bad as synthetic ones. I have figured out that my scalp doesn’t like silicones so I use silicone free hair products, but for my face it seems to be ok. I just wonder can it have a difference that I wash my face 2 times a day but wash my hair every 3-4 days? I have no idea. The silicone made my scalp itchy.

They are a scam. Skin contains nothing in its organ system function that allows for the "toxins" more accurately called waste products that your liver and kidneys can't handle. If your endocrine system cannot excrete something, you are in need of immediate medical attention, not a patch to the bottom of the foot. The black stuff on the bottom is a mix of dissolved dead skin cells,essential oils, and oxidized active ingredients that turned black after being exposed to air.

My skin is really sensitive to certain ingredients, like denatured alcohol and fragrances. Also some essential oils, although that one is honestly a lottery on whether it will cause irritation or not. In general I just stick to very mild and soothing products because they're the safest bet. I have fairly dry skin and am very prone to dehydration, so I don't really get acne (I do get some pimples here and there, though), except when I use a product with coconut oil in it. It actually took me a while to figure out what it was that was making me break out so suddenly! It was from one of my hair products. My hair is very dry and coarse and frizzy and just loves coconut oil. If I'm not careful when applying, I will get breakouts where my hair touches my face/neck/shoulders.

@@Tatertotrocks I have been using the Biore UV aqua rich watery essence. Tbh idk if it is a chemical or physical sunscreen so i dont swim with it on. I also use neutrogena sensitive skin. It is a physical sunscreen. If you follow skincare blogs or subreddits its easy to find recommendations!

Sunscreen clogs me like crazy and it's a huge pain in the arse. I already need to use all nature skincare due to my skin being extra sensitive (I'm literally allergic to fragrance and most ingredients in non natural products give me a rash) and now I can't even protect myself from the sun without waking up like a strawberry the next morning 😭

I realize that plastic is quite a broad category of product, but I was wondering if it would be possible to do a video in it? I got new lipsticks and new eyeshadow bases - i like them because they stay put but as far as I can tell they All contain quite a big amount of carbomer (which to my knowledge i plastic), so I am a little worried wether I am actively "poisoning" myself by using it😅 We all know not to eat plastic - but most people don't actually read the ingridients 🤔 IT might make a difference based on type like with alcohol but I have No Idea😅 Also - is there actually any benefit to having Aloe Vera in anything?🤔 I'm allergic so I stay away, but I would like to know anyway 😂
